4. Machine press - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_press

   A forming press, commonly shortened to press, is a machine tool that changes the shape of a work-piece by the application of pressure. [1] The operator of a forming press is known as a press-tool setter, often shortened to tool-setter. Presses can be classified according to their mechanism: hydraulic, mechanical, pneumatic;

5. Types of press tools - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_press_tools

   Press tools are commonly used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical presses to produce the sheet metal components in large volumes. Generally press tools are categorized by the types of operation performed using the tool, such as blanking, piercing , bending , forming , forging , trimming etc.

6. Heavy Press Program - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Press_Program

   The Wyman-Gordon 50,000-ton forging press. The Heavy Press Program was a Cold War-era program of the United States Air Force to build the largest forging presses and extrusion presses in the world. These machines greatly enhanced the US defense industry's capacity to forge large complex components out of light alloys, such as magnesium and ...

7. Hydraulic press - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_press

   The hydraulic press depends on Pascal's principle.The pressure throughout a closed system is constant. One part of the system is a piston acting as a pump, with a modest mechanical force acting on a small cross-sectional area; the other part is a piston with a larger area which generates a correspondingly large mechanical force.

8. Punch press - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_press

   Punch presses are large machines with either a 'C' type frame, or a 'portal' (bridge) type frame. The C type has the hydraulic ram at the top foremost part, whereas the portal frame is much akin to a complete circle with the ram being centered within the frame to stop frame deflection or distortion.

9. Rev limiter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rev_limiter

   In the case of "neutral" or shifting up too late, a rev limiter can easily keep engine RPM below the redline. If a manual transmission is shifted down too early, the speed of the vehicle will drive the engine over the redline. In this case, a rev limiter will cut engine power but it cannot prevent the engine's RPM from going beyond the redline.
